Computing technology holds great potential for accelerating scientific research. Microsoft is fully committed to making scientific computing technologies more efficient, to reduce the time to discovery. Microsoft's innovative computing technologies and productivity toolsets help advance data mining and knowledge management, and enhance scholarly publishing and communication. We strive to continually enrich and refine our technical capabilities so that scientists can realize their full potential. High Performance Computing (HPC) for Science and Engineering Research
To further explore the capabilities of Microsoft technologies in high-performance computing environments, the University of Southampton’s School of Engineering Sciences has constructed a Microsoft software-based computing cluster for industrial and academic use, which enhances the existing research infrastructure and enables engineers and academic researchers to more effectively perform complex computations. Potential uses for the cluster include research into internal and external air flows around aircraft and jet engines, structural analysis of aircraft engine components, water flows around ship hulls, and the behavior of biomedical implants in the body.
